Tonight we talk about the only game legally obligated to say that it is inspired by Saban's Power Rangers... Chroma Squad! This was the June 2016 AggroChat Game of the Month and Thalen's latest Game Club pick. At some point we got completely out of order on the whole round robin rotation and we are now just going with it. Do you have a fond memory of the Power Rangers and other Sentai shows from the 90s? Do you hate the Power Rangers and have a love of Tactical Combat games that make fun of them? In both cases this might be a game for you, so tune in as we talk about the finer points of this game and film season after season of cardboard mech suit combat!

It is not really often that things work out just perfectly and AggroChat lands on one of the hosts birthdays. This evening it happened to coincide perfectly with that of Belghast turning 40… so there was some discussion of that happening. Also we dove into E3 and all of the stuff that we could remember about the show. Below is an extremely partial list of the topics we discussed, because quite frankly we were whipping through games so fast… and I was exhausted… so I failed miserably to try and log our discussion. Additionally we talk Blade and Soul, Gundam Breaker 3, Ronin and some talk of the Four Job Fiesta.

This week we are down quite a few people, since it seems like everyone is travelling over the summer. This week we have Bel and Tam in their correct places, and Kodra and Thalen have been travelling as well but were able to sort out how to join the podcast. This is another one of those weeks where we thought we had nothing to talk about… then wound up podcasting for two hours withou stop. Tam is super excited about the new Mirror’s Edge, and it continues his trend of trying to do ninja things…. Without actually playing a ninja. We talk about how the ninja genre really never quite made a fully successful transition to three dimensional. From there we talk about how Tom Clancy games have gotten more and more paranoid over the years.

Kodra and Tam discuss a new to them miniature game they have been playing called Bushido that sounds suspiciously like the Legend of Five Rings setting. Which spawns a brief conversation about Magic the Gathering and spoiler season. Which leads its way into a discussion about Warhammer and how they went from completely fearing licensing games… to seemingly giving anyone with a heartbeat the right to make Warhammer 40k games. I spend some time returning to Rift and talk about how well they are messaging fights these days. Which leads to a discussion about Final Fantasy XIV in a not great light. I also talk about my experience watching the Warcraft movie and finally we wrap things up with a discussion about he start of the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta.

After taking a break for the Memorial Day weekend, AggroChat is back with the slightly belated May Game Club show for Dishonored. This was a Belghast pick and in part due to a conversation between he and Tam about stealth mechanics in games. This is the only stealthy game that Belghast has managed to complete, and in truth the game is really even more amazing on a second play. This is as usual a complete spoilers show where we talk about the various endings and choices that the game gives you for both high and low chaos modes.
